Blasts 15th homer
Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Mariners. Murakami got the White Sox on the board in the first inning and tied Aaron Judge for the league lead in home runs with 15. Murakami continues to showcase his prodigious power, tallying four homers in his last 10 games. He has also struck out at a 37.2 percent clip in that span, and he continues to have an extreme three-true outcome skills profile.
Receiving rare day of rest
Murakami is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels. Tuesday will mark Murakami's second day off of the season, but he has appeared in every game for the White Sox. The rookie has continued his success into May with a 1.122 OPS and two home runs across the first four games of the month. The White Sox are shifting around the infield Tuesday with Miguel Vargas at first base, Colson Montgomery at third base and Luisangel Acuna at shortstop.
